content life cycle from change orders through release approval, dissemination and training. Allows firms to improve enterprise-wide visibility of process changes, reduce risk and labor costs associated with use of erroneous and outdated procedures, and demonstrate regulatory compliance.

Provides an intuitive workflow environment to manage the entire lifecycle of content (procedures, specifications, drawings, etc.) via integrated change orders, version control and training tasks.

Benefits include:
• Managing and distributing content, including SOPs, procedures, drawings and datasheets.
• Facilitating compliance with regulatory requirements and standards including cGMP, ISO 9000, 21 CFR Part 11, SOX, and HIPAA
• Making relevant content easy to locate, view, print, e-mail and download.
• Providing full text search across the entire content repository.
• Automatic notification regarding new, updated and recalled documents.
• Supervisors can manage employees, assign new hire document training and training for new roles and document monthly activity.
• Content managers define a document’s affected areas, automatically set training tasks and access rights and also receive automatic notifications of document change request status.

DX dispensing system includes a mobile hand-held dispenser with a refill station, for two-component material dispensing.

Can dispense 1:1, 1.5:1, 2:1, 4:1 and 10:1 ratios for two-component reactive resins. Multiple hand-held dispensers can quickly be refilled with one DXR refill station. The refill station uses two transfer pumps that feed from five-gallon bulk containers of material, each equipped with follower plates to handle a range of viscosities. Is lightweight, compact.

ESD Drawer Storage Cabinets are certified to meet specific electrical property requirements, assuring static dissipation at a safe rate. Can be protected by static dissipative powder coat finishes in five standard colors. Drawer interiors can contain conductive plastic boxes and conductive slotted grooved trays for additional protection.

Cabinet drawers feature a 440 lb. load capacity each and are available in seven full sidewall heights for maximum cubic storage capacity. Extend 100% from the housing for complete use of the furthest corners and easy accessibility to all the contents.

Additional ergonomic and safety features include drawer handles positioned at the top of each drawer and flush with the face of the housing. Also, the one-drawer-at-a-time PrevenTip safety system prevents accidental cabinet tipping.

AlSiC (Aluminum Silicon Carbide) metal matrix composite provides lids, or heat spreaders, for the flip-chip IC packaging and optoelectronic market.

Enables a tailored coefficient of thermal expansion, offering compatibility with various electronic devices and assemblies. Unlike traditional packaging materials, the isotropic CTE value can be adjusted for specific applications by modifying the Al-metal/SiC-particulate ratio. Eliminates the need for thermal interface stacking.

Said to exhibit a high thermal conductivity for efficient thermal dissipation. Prevents the bowing and flexing of packaging and substrate material that can lead to failure.

The net-shape fabrication process produces the composite material and fabricates the product geometry. Allows rapid prototyping for high volume advanced thermal management solutions. Less dense than traditional flip-chip packaging materials.

The unrestricted geometry enables the inclusion of complex features, such as capacitor or resistor pockets, in the flip-chip lids. The cast surface supports various identification methods including laser marking, paint, ink and screen printing, as well as plating anodization and other surface metallization schemes typically applied to aluminum. Enables integration of very high thermal conductivity inserts (>1000 W/mK) or cooling tubes.

CXInsight for Electronics, a project content management system, allows internal and external collaboration between project members across OEM and manufacturing sites with the latest web security.

Is a product-oriented content management and e-collaboration toolset for use in electronics design, NPI and production environments that require management of structured and unstructured content. Flexible, Web-based server/client system operates independent of OS or application software, and is developed specifically for OEMs and manufacturers working together on projects, regardless of geographic location, language or time zone.

Manages and supports distributed development and NPI across global supply chains via secure (SSL) Internet communication. Handles four key areas:

Development product data management system (PDM Light)
Product oriented, single point of data access for internal/external project members
Graphical product and project file browser
Full project flow control and event logging/tracking system (development and engineering)

Positioned as a PDM-light application, views and controls the complete project flow from project management, task and workload management, through to ECO modification processes, full traceability and event logging.
